Tyler had hippotherapy for nearly seven years and he loved it. It did wonderful things for his overall tone and head control. We met some amazing families along the way with a variety of syndromes, illnesses, diseases and neuro problems. The staff and volunteers were compassionate, caring and extremely supportive. Because of Tyler's unique disabilities, one of the staff always backrode with him and volunteers walked along side the horse. I was always able to walk with him as well (if I wanted to). It was our favorite form of PT. Great opportunity if you are able to do it.
